The Pelagian Controversy (411–431) was one of the most important theological controversies in the history of Christianity. It was a bitter and messy affair in the evening of the Roman Empire that addressed some of the most important questions that we ask about ourselves: Who are we? What does it mean to be a human being? Are we good, or are we evil? Are we burdened by an uncontrollable impulse to sin? Do we have free will? It was comprised by a group of men who were some of the greatest thinkers of Late Antiquity, such as Augustine, Jerome, John Cassian, Pelagius, Caelestius, and Julian of Eclanum. These men were deeply immersed in the rich Roman literary and intellectual traditions of that time, and they, along with many other great minds of this period, tried to create equally rich Christian literary and intellectual traditions. This controversy—which is usually of interest only to historians and theologians of Christianity—should be appreciated by a wide audience because it was the primary event that shaped the way Christians came to understand the human person for the next 1,600 years. It is still relevant today because anthropological questions continue to haunt our public discourse.

"This volume brings together writings from early and late stages of Augustine's involvement in the Pelagian controversy. On Nature and Grace and on the Proceedings of Pelagius both date from A.D. 415-16 and constitute two of Augustine's most extensive treatments of the actual words of Pelagius. On the Predestination of the Saints and On the Gift of Perseverance were written in A.D. 428, near the end of Augustine's life. Augustine's opponents in his writings, he admits, are not really Pelagians at all. They were monks of Provence, led by John Cassian, who were disturbed by the more extreme consequences of the theology of grace and predestination that Augustine had worked out in his controversy with the Pelagians. Since the sixteenth century, they have been labeled "semi-Pelagians."" "Taken together, these writings provide an occasion to examine the continuity and development of Augustine's theology of grace. They also afford much insight into the fifth-century status of many theological questions that are alive today, such as the extent of the damage done to human nature by sin, the theology of original sin, the effects of baptism, and the true meaning and scope of God's salvific will." "These treatises include some of Augustine's most significant statements on grace. Intended for scholars and students of theology and philosophy, this edition includes three treatises translated for the first time since the nineteenth century, two of which are the first from modern critical texts. William Collinge's trenchant introductions offer detailed accounts of the historical and critical work done over the hundred years since the last publication."--Jacket.

"In questo volume è stata studiata in maniera complessiva la parentesi orientale della controversia pelagiana (411-431). La ricerca è divisa in due parti. Nella prima, sono stati esaminati i rapporti che i principali esponenti del movimento pelagiano (Pelagio, Celestio e Giuliano d'Eclano) hanno intrattenuto con i vescovi orientali con cui sono entrati in contatto (Giovanni e Prailo di Gerusalemme, Attico di Costantinopoli, Cirillo d'Alessandria, Teodoro di Mopseustia e Nestorio). In questo modo è stato possibile delineare una geografia dell'accoglienza e del respingimento dei membri del movimento pelagiano. Infatti, è soltanto al termine di questa indagine storica, durante il Concilio di Efeso (431), che anche in Oriente il pelagianesimo è diventato unanimemente un'eresia da condannare. -- "Nella seconda parte della ricerca sono stati analizzati i principali teologi e polemisti anti-pelagiani di lingua latina residenti in Oriente. Si tratta di Girolamo, Orosio, Heros e Lazzaro, accusatori di Pelagio durante il sinodo di Diospoli (415) e di Mario Mercatore. Questi autori sono stati messi a confronto con Agostino d'Ippona allo scopo di dimostrare la pluralità delle posizioni teologiche e delle rappresentazioni retoriche del pelagianesimo tra i suoi oppositori. Si è dimostrato, infatti, che opporsi al movimento pelagiano non ha significato necessariamente condividere in pieno una teologia di stampo agostiniano, nè la medesima impostazione retorica di Agostino"-- Back cover.
